9:01 am
over president morcey- mursi's power. military warning that serious talk're talks are the only way to avoid a catastrophe. fox news alert. u.s. are saying with the alleged ring leader of the terrorist network tide to the brutal atalk that killed four americans. this may have stopped a new launch of al qaeda. molly? >> u.s. officials have not had a chance to interrogate him yet. but they have been tracking this guy for months. egyptian authorities arrested muhammad amad in the past week or so. he's 45 years old and the leader of a group that took part in the deadly attack in benghazi, libya on september
9:02 am
11th. he appears to be ambitious and big plans for the group. this is what we know about him. a former egyptian jihad member and released arab spring and setting up terror training camps in libya and egypt with help from al qaeda in yemen. he tried to set up al qaeda in egypt. some of his followers were part of the assault on the consulate. this shows that the muslim brotherhood may be willing to assist the u.s. in going after terrorist. meanwhile secretary of state hillary clinton will testify before the house and senate about the benghazi attacks and the obama reaction to it. the independent review board should have it done soon secretary of state will testify .
9:03 am
also in the war on terror, a u.s. drone took another al qaeda leader pakistan tribal leaders say a senior al qaeda commander that just areiched in pakistan a couple of days and a north delone strike took him out. he rose in the al qaeda ranks to be the terrorist network most powerful figure. >> thank you . joining us with the news of the arrest and that secretary clinton will testify before the house. welcome, congresswoman, great to have you here. what do you know about the latest arrest of the suspect tied to the attack on the benghazi consulate. >> it is welcome news they are getting results. this will be a test of the mursi muslim brotherhood led government which as of late
9:04 am
was a deep disappointment and caused great concern in the international community about the move for authoritis and suppression of the minority and power grab of the mursi regime. now if they cooperate with the u.s. and turn this individual and others over to the united states for prosecution doesn't mine we'll let the mursi government off of the hook. we are giving good money after bad. the administration is asking for the government to have 450 million from u.s. taxpayer dollars . we have seen nothing but bad moves by the egyptian authorities. we are hopeful that this investigation that is it leading to this arrest and maybe others because it is not a one person operation will finally get yesterday for the
9:05 am
four brave americans lot of their lives. >> talking more about that. do you expect her to have a date certain before thepped of the year? do you have a date before you? >> i have been in conversation with the department of state. there is it every indication that it willthe end of the year. as soon as the report is complete. we believe she will testify in a open setting and perhaps the leaders of the report and lead investigators may be testifying before us in a closed setting. we have been frustrated with the administration because they keep having closed briefings and cluding one in dc and another classified briefing and we want the
9:06 am
american people to know what happened in bing beng and extra help not heeded, and why did susaprice go on five national news to talk about this video when in fact we knew that the video was not to blame . why did president obama go before the united nations general assembly and six times make reference to a video when it was not the cause of an al qaeda terrorist attacks, so the american people want answers in an open setting and we are glad that secretary clinton will appear before us. >> is this the only committee she will testify before . will she talk with others. >> in our conversation with department of state it is it clear that the secretary will testify before our house committee and septemberor kerry foreign relations committee and those will be the only two committee hearings in which she will there might be other closed
9:07 am
briefings. we have had enough closed brivings. i think the families of brave americans deserve answers and the american people need to be told the truth because what we want is not just a rehash the past but in the future make sure our posts guarded and the host government knows their penalties for the embassy and make sure there are indication of attack, we are taking pressures not to have them be open targets but we will shelter them and protect them. that should be the responsibility of the host government as well >> but also isn't the quithat needs to be asked why our embassy was in benghazi in the first place and countries like britain had already recalled the ambassador. >> it is it all so perplexing why a sad anniversary like
9:08 am
9/11, that we know means so much not just for the pain of the americans but means so much for why have had an ambassador in a consulate that is not having enough security . why the request for additional security were not heapeded and why they were turned down? we had a lot of conflict being information and that is why it will be refrerk to have it done in an open setting, the administration said one thing in a closed briefing and what we might hear in a open setting might be different . we will reserve our judgment to see the results of the and report. but what we know is that all of it is troubling especially the request for further stewart. could those lives been spared and not only is that question relevant but what about the
9:09 am
future and looking at what is going on in the world and what more can we co. what do we keep giving arms to countries where there are too many arms and libya is awash in weapons and give mon tow places like egypt where they are not clear on human rights and freedom. we are supposed to help allis and not buy love where why want love to be. >> we'll look forward to the testimony. however, they could be ready to launch a new rocket on monday. that's when the window opens for the rogue nations to send a rogue satellite in orbit. u.s. officials think it is it a cover to test technology for
9:10 am
a missile used for the united states . >> and travel forces in pakistan. terrorist leadership was hiding out near the border of pakistan. they are aware of the deaths but not confirming the igentity or how important the leadership was at this time. >> there are growing fierce that the civil war in syria could escaulate. syria is stocking piling chemical weapons. but since international inspectors have never been inside of the country, we don't know how big the arsnil is. new reports president assad may be willing to unleash as an effort foget control. >> they are joining us to
9:11 am
break it down. welcome, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. the president said if syria resorts to using chemical weapons there will be consequences and it is it a red line for the white house. what do you think it could to trigger military action? >> the reason i am smiling the administration should have played this card a year ago. this is putting more pressure. there is no evidence that syria will be nutty enough to use chemical weapons. but if you indicate to the core of syria we can reach out and touch you and have your phone numbers and telling you don't do this and that. you are causing more unrest. this is putting more pressure and breaking the ranks. we did this successfully in 2003 when we were attacking to bagwell.
9:12 am
we sent out the same sort of messages to the iraqi officers don't use them. we found out they didn't have them. it shattered them and caused them to be nervous and not to want to fight us it is it a smart political move and a you leverage move. it doesn't mean that syria is geth ready to use chemical weapons. >> but the new intelligence that the u.s. is having is that not only moving but using the bombs now. >> i am skeptical about someone talk about new intelligence. i don't believe our intelligence community is so lacking in capability to look ahead they are not watching the weapons for a couple of years now . so i am not, i am not impressed that they are saying it is part of the a larger game plan. i -- it is putting pressure
9:13 am
and not a sudden worry that they are about to use them. >> syria is suspected of possessing the world's third largest after the u.s. and russia. seron gas can be put in arstilliery shells whampt if is the risk for the u.s. should those weapons be used. >> again, when we start making these large blanket statementings of weapons. in secret our intelligence agency knows what bunkers they are in and how many they are and know and the syrians know we know . we do face an issue down stream at some point which is not that the syrians use the weapon. how do we get them before the terrorist get them. that one is going to be tough to figure out .
9:14 am
because the only logical thing is to send teams on the ground to secure them and that's a, you really have to think carefully how you do that. >> really quickly sir, to your point of other terrorist geth their hands on the weapons. if assad flees for example. that is the big worry. militant groups that are on the ground there and rebels gleting their hands on the weapons . the impact of that. can you speak to that for a moment. >> that's the big worry and i think that is why the administration really too slow in setting up contacts on the ground. we have too much hands off on this . the administration knows it and now moving behind the scenes to insure wherever the weapons are. we have linkages with in those areas. we are not getting to get caught unprepared and i think
9:15 am
we are slow on but i bet behind the scenes that's what we are doing. getting together with different people, syrians on the ground and have different targets if it comes apart and where we want syrians that we have faith in going there and securinglets and talk with nato about whom we send in on the ground to extact those weapons. i hope in secret we are doing that right now. >> let's hope so, sir. great to have you on board. appreciate it >> korea pop singer created a popular buzz. his video has the most views on youtube history. but he made disturbing anti-american statements back in be you of in the early stages of the iraq war. he rapped about killing

9:17 am
stage and that was in protest to the large deployment of the u.s. military to iraq. >> and he said it was because of the killing iraq and two killing of school shared by others around the world . he was honored to perform in front of the american soldiers and that included an appearance on the jay leno show specifically for u.s. troops and said in his final statement i hope they can accept my apology. >> he was slated to perform for president obama . that is probably unlikely now, uma and the petition to rescind that invitation is submitted on the white house website. we'll see what happened there. losing a lot of fan united states. >> absolutely with those
